9/11 - Twelve Years On...

As most of you will no doubt know, today is the twelfth anniversary of the events of 9/11. At this time, every year, the cultural zeitgeist (perpetuated by the mainstream media) kicks into high gear and bombards the masses with a load of reinforcing propaganda that tops up all the programmed notions and aspects of perception management that were very much a result of the events of that fateful day.

In the UK, most mainstream channels usually re-air all of the hit pieces that were conceived in the aftermath of the events. This year has been an oddly sedate affair and it seems that, for a variety of reasons, 9/11 is keeping its head down. Aside from the usual day long marathons being broadcast on P.R. outlets such as National Geographic and the History Channel, the rest are keeping a relatively low profile.

This is hardly a surprise though when one looks at the current state of affairs in relation to the bigger picture. It is not hard to recognise the events that led from 9/11. Illegal wars of aggression and occupation, regime change, big bad bogeymen conjured up from every nook and cranny you could imagine, Orwellian laws designed to curtail individual rights and liberties, weapons of mass destruction curiously appearing in the neighbourhood of any country that doesn’t play ball with the precepts of Global Governance – these have all become par for the course since 9/11.

There is a tendency to fall into the trap of believing that there is actually nothing left to say about 9/11 and its legacy. Whilst it may be true, we should never get complacent and tire of discussing that which is now known. Certainly, I believe that the evidence I recount to others (namely the work of Dr Judy Wood in her book “Where Did The Towers Go?”), pretty much speaks for itself. Those who continually call for a “new debate”, “new discussion” or “new investigation” (in my personal opinion) are wandering down a dead end path.

Never the less, we do need to keep talking about that which we know. It is curious that the sudden low key approach has timed with the current situation in Syria. I am somewhat heartened by public reaction to the Syrian paradigm. Most of us were convinced that a strike upon the country (in some form) was literally 24 hours away… and this was weeks ago. We have, in actuality, seen all manner of “back peddling” over recent weeks.

In the UK, the government’s initial beating of the war drum rapidly went quiet when it became obvious that (perhaps even more than at the time of the Iraq invasion) public opinion was simply not on their side. I have listened to people I know (who would usually be all in favour of a war) espousing far more caution. Mostly, this reluctance seems to stem from a belief that we really shouldn’t be spading out money for a foreign war, when there is “no money at home”!

There is a delicious irony in all this, for it seems that the current economic woes engineered by the “powers that be” may have been inadvertently responsible for derailing the war plans (and, ultimately, the steps on the road to global governance) of the “powers that be”!

There is more though. Far more people began to recognise the same old tune (with Syria) that was used to carefully manipulate the masses in the lead up to the Iraq invasion. Weapons of mass destruction in Syria became a far more convoluted affair than a simple pre-cursor to cause and effect. Put simply, the analogous “boy who cried wolf” tale just wasn’t being listened to any more.

This far from removes the inevitability of the “powers that be” acting in accordance with their global governance agenda, given that they know how to craft many alternatives routes to their goals.

These, and far more serious implications, are the true legacy of 9/11. 9/11 revealed the one (metaphorical and literal) truly bone fide weapon of mass destruction. Not only in the form of a directed free energy weapon, but also in the form of a weapon that can reconfigure our beliefs, ideals and notions of our world around us and what is yet to come. Maybe twelve years has allowed us some time to begin to reclaim those beliefs and ideals as our own.

It is with determined hope that I believe a day will come when those events will be examined through the eyes of a more accurate and evidential historical context, rather than those of pre-conceived notions, managed perceptions and a manufactured program of cultural and historical indoctrination. Hopefully, by then, we will have removed ourselves from the current state of war upon our consciousness and begun to recognise something of our larger reality.

We can but hope…

Peace folks!

Happy 1st Birthday - The Truth Seeker's Guide

   How could I forget something as important as a birthday? Well I did! More importantly, it was the first birthday of something that changed my life in so many ways. Yesterday was the first anniversary of my humble little blog: “The Truth Seeker’s Guide”. As some of you may have noticed, my posts have been a little sparse of late. I’ve been so busy and much of this has ironically been thanks to “The ‘Guide”. I have a number of articles coming up on the subjects of TV, perception, social movements and The Olympics, so please bear with me.

   I thought it would it be a good opportunity to have a look back over my efforts here and take the time to thank so many people for their infinite generosity of spirit and support. My intention with “The ‘Guide” has always been to try and spread a little truth. I’m continuously beating myself up over the fact that I know far less than I wish I did. I’m amazed by the ways that people seem to accumulate information with apparent ease, something that often escapes me. I struggle with the routes of disinformation, agendas (within certain elements of the truth community) and evidential dead ends. Despite this, I’m learning now that it is not the destination, rather the journey that enlightens our way. My only hope is that if just one little piece of information (I include here) has the effect of causing somebody to say “bloody hell” or “I never knew that” and as a result kick starts some cognitive process in questioning a persons established perception if their existence, then it is a job well done.

   Reading my early blogs is a little cringe worthy at times. Thankfully my punctuation and grammar has improved over time… it’s been years since I’ve required the skill to any great degree! Also my own knowledge and perceptions have grown rapidly – something evidenced in my views on the mechanics of 9/11 for example. The wonderful thing is that I’ve realised I have so much more to learn and I know it’s a process that will forever be on-going.

   As a little corner to express my thoughts, I never imagined how many people would notice it’s presence. The real turning point came in August/September of last year whilst covering the tenth anniversary of 9/11 – specifically my analysis of the BBC Three “9/11 Conspiracy Road Trip” hit piece. http://thetruthseekersguide.blogspot.co.uk/2011/09/bbcs-911-conspiracy-road-trip.html

The article was a real boon, thanks mostly to the huge kindness of David Icke. The article was linked to and recommended on David's hugely successful website ( http://www.davidicke.com/headlines/53288-the-bbcs-911-conspiracy-road-trip- ) and, as a result, added several thousand web hits to the blog in the space of a couple of hours! It also increased my regular readership tenfold.

To this day I have no idea whether it was David himself (I emailed a thank you message to his site but received no response) or a fellow truther that recommended my article. Whoever it was though, I remain eternally in their debt and thank them from the bottom of my heart.

Subsequently, many of my articles have received greater exposure thanks to the support of others.  “The Un-Natural War” “Damning Documents”  & “Strange Tales From 9/11” blog series are good examples and still get numerous hits. To this day, my favourite article remains “The Kubrick Conspiracy” – rarely read and I could have written it in six parts but I loved doing it… I almost wrote Part 2 a few weeks ago! The funniest was not the content, rather the reaction. At Christmas I wrote “Merry Everybody!” which was a hit thanks to the seasonal search engine ‘Scroogle’ – a web source for miserable people… I had some strange visits over the holidays! The saddest and hardest thing I’ve ever had to write was “Tribute To A Tribute”, the day after my tribute band to The Who decided to amicably disband after 14 years.

The ‘Guide has brought me into contact with the larger research community as well. Although I tend to be very wary of groups and movements (because of shills, mis-directionists and those with an agenda), much of my experience has been really positive. As a result I have a number of unsung supporters (some who prefer to remain that way) who have yet to steer me wrong. The highlight was undoubtedly meeting Dr Judy Wood and Andrew Johnson for the first time in Birmingham, especially when I realised I had come across kindred spirits. http://thetruthseekersguide.blogspot.co.uk/2011/10/andrew-johnson-dr-judy-wood-truth-juice.html

   On the other hand, I also realised the wrath of a number of 9/11 Truthers after publishing my 9/11 Legacy blogs. What was originally 9 parts, eventually became 7 following a week of abuse, threats and numerous sudden technical problems with my blog itself. The 2 culprit blogs discussed eye witness accounts of the events at The Pentagon. Clearly something I said had whipped up a hornets nest and the days after I posted them were a real pain in the arse! In the space of six hours I received roughly 60-70 comments (thankfully requiring approval, so they didn’t get through!) that questioned my accuracy, sanity, hygiene, parentage, etc.! I also had a couple of threats of violence. I also found that I couldn’t log on to my blog or make changes. Whatever happened remains a mystery to me, although I do know that it all seemed to centre around those 2 articles and that several individuals were active in the 9/11 Truth movement. Ultimately I decided to remove the articles and found that the problems stopped almost immediately. I don’t like the idea of censoring myself for others, but it was becoming just too much hassle. http://thetruthseekersguide.blogspot.co.uk/2011/09/911-blog-series-index.html

   I must stress that these folk are not reflective of the 9/11 community at large. Despite the varying viewpoints regarding the events of that day and the politics involved, I know that the vast majority of the ground level campaigners are reasonable people… as is the case with most people in the alternative / truth community. Most of the people I meet and greet are great people with good hearts and open minds.

   Never the less, my encounters (good and bad) have created some wonderful opportunities on the horizon for me. I have a number of truth related projects in the pipeline and ’m really looking forward to seeing where the next 12 months take me.

   I must give a huge thank you to the many researchers and web sources that have inspired and informed me. To those who I continually pester - yet continue to support me in return, those who remain unseen, those who visit regularly (even on the quieter days) and say hello, those who are just passing by accident. I know who you are and I never forget all your support. There’s no point in doing it, if not for you.

The short and long of it is that I really just wanted to say THANK YOU…
And Happy Birthday to my little truth baby!!!!

Until next time.
The Truth Seeker’s Guide.

BBC's "9/11: Conspiracy Road Trip"

   Television coverage of the 10th anniversary of 9/11 has been somewhat different from what I expected. Granted there are still a few days to go yet, but it appears that the media propaganda machine has been completely bewildered as to how to go about their annual reconviction of the ‘official’ story. In the UK, the BBC, ITV and Channel 4 have all (aside a rehashed and laughable 9/11 Conspiracy Files ‘update’ from the BBC) taken the softly, softly approach this year, with the emphasis truly being on the tragedy/loss of life angle. Such programs (a correct use of the word if ever used) were book-ended with a reminder of said ‘official’ account of events and filled with endless examples of lives ended and families torn apart. Whilst I truly feel for these people and always endeavour to try never to besmirch or make a mockery of their memory, this approach is slightly more misleading than people may initially think. It is, sadly, one of the many callous examples of how broadcasters (especially the BBC, but  numerous others also) use to emotionally manipulate the sentiments and rationality of the viewer.

   The BBC finally decided to shift the gears today and present to us “9/11: Conspiracy Road Trip” on BBC Three. It was presented by comedian Andrew Maxwell, who took five “conspiracy theorists” on a trip to America to see if they could get them to “change their mind” about their particular views. They consisted of Charlotte Scott Hays, Emily Church, Shazin Nurse, Rodney Chavrimotoo (hope that’s right!) and, the now infamous, Charlie Veitch.

   The first five minutes set the standard BBC tone, with a voice over by Mr Maxwell, where he reinforced the ‘official’ story and stated that he was “as certain as certain can be that Osama Bin Laden ordered the attacks”. This was followed by an introduction to the five “theorists”, interspersed with shots of them crying and shouting at each other. Without going to far off track, you may remember (from my “Popcorn For The Mind” blog series) that I looked into the media use of “love-bombing”, “divide and conquer” and “herd mentality” tactics in it’s programming. It’s certainly something worth looking out for in a re-watch of this program. These first five minutes are classic examples of social engineering aspects, with all the hallmarks of certain organisations: from Tavistock to Common Purpose. Methods that would have raised a knowing smile from the likes of researcher, Brian Gerrish!

   Andrew Maxwell pointed out that it was “unbelievable” that there were people out there who questioned the “truth” about 9/11. He first took the group to WTC Ground Zero, believing that by simply going there it would change their mind and giving them a “reality check”. This trite act is akin to taking a group of Ufologists to the desert in New Mexico and hoping they’ll raise their hands to the sky and shout, “My God I’ve Seen The Light!”. It trivialises any real attempt to present a critical analysis of 9/11 research, right off the bat.

   He went on to declare that the 9/11 Commission was “totally independent”… you only have to look into the people involved (including the farcically initial period with Henry Kissinger) to know that this is just a biased and misleading comment.

   The specific theories were represented by half a dozen of the (what I consider anyway) weaker aspects of 9/11 speculation. “Amateur pilots couldn’t have done it”. The program then went on to take the group to a flight school where one was taken up in a tiny two man plane and proceeded to fly it above Manhattan for ten minutes. The ‘expert’ flight instructor commented that “if you’re tender with the controls, you’ll probably land it first flight”. He claimed it was easy to navigate and land on a runway, but also said that it was “easier to fly a big jet”. If that were the case, then why isn’t everybody flying jets for British Airways within a day of signing up?! They then dropped in a sound bite of Shazin saying that she thought it would be easy to do it with a Boeing. Well I’m convinced already!…

   This section was closed with the statement: “All they had to do was fly straight and level”. Clearly this is a ridiculous observation. You need only look at the ‘official’ flight path, altitude and angle of Flight 77...

   Next up was the view that the US government screwed up their security procedures. This was quickly dismissed by a quick recollection of the ‘official’ account, with every aspect including the word “Did”. United Airlines pilot Buck Rogers (yes really!) made a staggering remark that there had never been one single aircraft hijacking in the US before 9/11. Where do these people learn their history?!

   At this point, it was obligatory to show the group arguing and shouting at each other, whilst Mr Maxwell (apt name!) called them “childlike” and “gullible”. Next stop was the controlled demolition theory. No physics, simple mathematics or laws of gravity here. Just demolition ‘expert’ Brent Blanchard (do some serious research on this man, you’ll be surprised what you find…) and his reassuring claim that “buildings NEVER fall OVER”, they are simply “compressed”. By now, Charlie Veitch was presented as having an epiphany: “It makes sense now”. The producers must have rubbing their hands with glee.

   Onto the means used to create a controlled demolition and Rodney was next to be ridiculed. “You would think that a science grad would be more rational”, said Andrew Maxwell (another example of nothing more than insult). Another ‘expert’ displayed combustion of a steel girder which was barely scratched, thus the “conspiracy theory” was definitively debunked. Charlie Veitch was, again viewed, voicing his opinion: “It’s becoming more and more unlikely that this stuff was used to bring down buildings… and planes DID mess up the buildings”. At this point, they showed Charlotte upset because “Charlotte has been relying on Charlie to back her up”.
Onto The Pentagon . The producers obviously didn’t want to touch this one at all, for fear of showing themselves up. They simply presented the ‘official’ commission approved animation of Flight 77’s impact… the one that removes an engine from the schematics in order that it fit’s the pattern of damage (see parts 7 and 8 of my 9/11 blog series, to understand this crucial evidence). Maxwell said here, “Do you think a missile could go in there unnoticed by the public… I think that’s nuts”. Please Mr Maxwell, much more of your profound knowledge and I’ll have to admit defeat and close my blog down…

   At this point I nearly choked from laughing when he said, “What’s more important, the truth or the right answer!”. If it wasn’t such a serious matter, I’d have almost mistaken it for a “Carry On…” film. More arguing and he accuses them of “sulking”. He finally shows himself for the dignified and morally superior being by walking off and saying, “Fuck Them!”. He then claims that the group “selectively hear things” and mentions something about Israel and MI5, claims that “Santa does not exist, how do you know he doesn’t exist… this is ludicrous”.

   A demonstration of physics followed, in order to explain the crash of Flight 93. This involved a pebble and a mound of flour, followed by the group throwing some eggs and water bombs. Seriously! You couldn’t make this stuff up!

   Onto voice analysis of the ‘passengers’ of ‘93 and an expert who bravely commented that the calls could have been edited or faked, however they were not really practical in “realtime”. Lots of crying for the finale, as the group met the mother of Mark Bingham. She said that her son often used his first name and surname in personal conversations because of habits he’d picked up in his profession  and commented that people “on the internet” had “not many brains”.

   The whole ordeal ended with more arguing and shouting and the final position of the group regarding 9/11. Charlie Veitch was praised as a “realist” because of his decision to renounce the “conspiracy” path and join the rest of the sheeple. At which point I could pretty much feel my brain running out of my ears and decided that an hour in the company of the BBC’s psychological manipulation machine was more than enough…

Top: Andy Thomas & David Icke
Bottom Left: Andrew Johnson
Bottom Right: Ian R Crane

   Overall, it was pretty much what I’d come to expect and wasn’t really surprised. I’ve maybe been a bit hard on Charlie Veitch and Andrew Maxwell. Sometimes, to coin a phrase, “they know not what they do”. I absolutely blame those further up the chain of command for ever approaching the matter in such a shallow and superficial way… but that was always inevitable. Imagine if someone in the BEEB had decided to take the likes of David Icke, Ian R Crane, Andrew Johnson and Andy Thomas on such a road trip?!! They probably could have only used about two minutes worth of footage. In fact, I can safely say that it would NEVER have happened.

   These people are ultimately afraid of the truth ever being revealed. There are literally hundreds, possibly thousands, of aspects that raise serious questions about the legitimacy of the ‘official’ 9/11 story. You cannot analyse a lie, cover up, inside job or “conspiracy” in one hour, with a superficial glance at 7 or 8 aspects. It simply won’t do. The fact that they keep coming back to the well, time and again, in such a derogatory manner is indicative of their need to continually reinforce dogma divert people from recognising their fears. And they are afraid, don‘t ever think they aren‘t. They are afraid of the implications, of people waking up, they are afraid of the reveal and they are afraid of YOU. Afraid because you can think and reason, learn and speak of it. Try not to get bogged down in semantics and arguments because, like the road trip, they’ll use that against you.

Be sensible, level headed and informed. I say this all the time but, at the risk of sounding like a scratched record, the truth really does speak for itself.
If we’re wise, we can show them how it’s really done!
Till Next Time,
The Truth Seeker’s Guide.

Strange Tales From 9/11 - Part 2

   We all make and break plans at the drop of a hat and no one bats an eyelid on any ordinary day. 9/11 was no ordinary day though. If somebody happens to escape fate or has a bad feeling before hand, can we call these predictions? And what if we see a foreshadowed scenario presented  months in advance? Is it still a prediction or mere coincidence? As I discussed in part one, coincidence is a funny thing. You can literally account for everything with coincidence, but when the coins keeps coming up heads, it does make you wonder…

   Some aspects of 9/11 have almost become Urban Legends now. For some, they stretch the credibility of a serious investigation into the events. For others, they are the Rosetta Stone of a more esoteric truth. It seems that the 1995, trading-card game: "Illuminati: New World Order" (Steve Jackson Games) kicked it all off. The game features a number of cards that show some of the exact same events of 9/11: explosions at the Pentagon, the WTC and smoke rising from the Twin Towers (oddly this card is labelled “Population Reduction“!). Speculation deepened when people became aware of the storyline of The Lone Gunmen pilot episode, which involved a U.S. government conspiracy plot to crash an electronically hijacked Boeing 727 into the WTC and blame it on foreign terrorists in order to provoke war and increase the military's budget.  The episode pre-dated 9/11 by at least 18 months. Since then, many have found significance in numerous aspects of pop culture that came before the fateful day.

   In July, 2001, the Oakland based rap group, The Coup, released 'Party Music' in which the front cover shows their lead singer, Boots Riley, holding a detonator and blowing up the World Trade Centre, whilst The band “I Am the World Trade Centre” released 'Out of the Loop' in which the 11th track on their album is entitled "September". Even The Simpsons and big budget disaster movies like Armageddon have people looking carefully. Some cant help but point the finger when they witness an example of the numerological significance of 9-1-1 in relation to New York City or The Towers seen to be hit by an object or on fire.

   On September 6, 2001, English teacher, Antoinette DiLorenzo, noticed a freshman staring out of the window toward lower Manhattan. “What are you looking at?”, she said. The youth made a remark about the World Trade Centre “not being there next week”. The teacher didn’t immediately think much of it, though it stuck in her mind. Whatever you make of this, there are possibly more subtle signs to be found in the time, placement and activities of individuals on 9/11.


The ill-fated John O'Neill

   On September 10, 2001, Deputy for Command Centre Operations Army Brigadier General Montague Winfield asked a rookie Navy Captain (Charles Leidig, Jr) to take temporary command of the National Military Command Centre (NMCC) at The Pentagon for the period of 9/11. The same day, John O'Neill began his first day of work at the WTC, as head of security! O'Neill had recently retired as chief of international terrorism operations for the FBI, where he had been responsible for supervising investigations into the bombing of the USS Cole and the 1998 attacks on the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania… All events with ‘alleged’ connections to Osama Bin Laden.

Salman Rushdie

   In June 2001, Attorney General John Ashcroft stopped flying commercial aircrafts following, what the Justice Department called, a “threat assessment” by the FBI. He was advised to fly only by  private jet for the next three months. On September 3, Salman Rushdie was banned from taking internal flights. He thought officials were aware of an imminent terrorist strike and said that the FAA told his publisher it had intelligence of “something about to happen“.

   September 10, 2001 and a group of top Pentagon officials cancelled their travel plans for the next morning because of security concerns.  On the same day, San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown received a travel warning from his “security people at the airport… advising him that Americans should be cautious about their air travel”. According to a report on Pacifica Radio in 2003, it was stated that Condoleezza Rice gave Mayor Brown the warning!

   Again on the same day, President George Bush met Australian Prime Minister John Howard at the Washington Navy Yard to hand over the bell from USS Canberra. Amongst those in attendance was Mackenzie Gregory, a survivor of the sunken Australian Canberra. Staff from the Australian Embassy cancelled his reserved flight for the next day and re-scheduled his flight to coincide with the Prime Minister's attendance at a wreath-laying ceremony in Arlington.  He was witnessed turning to Australian Prime Minister John Howard and saying, "See you tomorrow at Arlington".  President Bush even broke ranks to personally meet Mr Gregory, with Mr Bush ordering a three-star marine general to photograph himself with Mr Gregory, his wife and Prime Minister John Howard. His original plane was Flight 77 that ‘hit‘ The Pentagon...

   At 8am, Flight 93 pushed back from Newark Airport's Gate A17 after passengers reportedly boarded the plane via the terminal's boarding ramp, however a NY Giants football player, who's team's plane landed around 6:45am, says he saw people boarding a plane parked next to his from the tarmac which he was later told was Flight 93.

   Bernard Brown Jnr,  a young passenger on Flight 77 that was participating in a field trip, talked to his father about dying before his flight.  His father told him "don't be afraid to die because we all are going to die someday".  Bernard's father, Navy Chief Petty Officer Bernard Brown Sr., took a "rare day off" from work that day to play golf.  Bernard's dad worked at the Pentagon in the same wing that was ‘hit’  by Flight 77.  The wife of David Kovalcin, an engineer for Raytheon who would be on Flight 11, said her husband woke her up in the middle of the night complaining he couldn't sleep and that he seemed "very distressed" but she didn't know why.  He would leave a note for his wife and two daughters Tuesday morning saying "I will miss everybody very much". Many have lambasted the truth community for their “callousness” in even discussing these particular accounts. If true, the implications are chilling…

   In a twist of fate, Pentagon economist, Bryan Jack, may have lived if he was at his Pentagon office and not on Flight 77. Of the 27 people working in the hit area of The Pentagon, 26 were killed and one was spared when his dental appointment at the Pentagon's dental clinic was moved up earlier in the day causing him to be absent from the office at the time.

   Duchess Sarah Ferguson was headed to WTC just before the events. Jackie Chan was due to shoot on the roof of the WTC and excused due to a late script. Creator of Family Guy Seth MacFarlane missed Flight 11 due to a typo on his itinerary. Real World New Orleans cast member Julie Stoffer missed Flight 11 due to a fight with her boyfriend. The infamous Larry Silverstein (of WTC7 notoriety) was absent from his office on the 88th floor of the North Tower because of a "doctors appointment" and his son and daughter were also “running late”. President Bush's cousin, Jim Pierce, avoided death at WTC due to a "schedule change" the night before…

Of course, all of this could just be a ton of coincidences. Many people doing so many things that day… It was bound to happen here and there.

But I do wonder about this analogy of a coin or penny that keeps coming up heads…
How long before we stop calling it ALL coincidence?
How long before ‘the penny drops’?!

Strange Tales From 9/11 - Part 1

   Imagine that you flipped a coin several hundred times in succession and it came up heads every single time. Or maybe you got tails a handful of times, but the vast majority was heads… Aside from being a pretty lucky person, would it be an occurrence that you could consign to the realm of pure coincidence? The odds of it happening are not statistically impossible, but it would a rare, possibly freak, occurrence. 9/11 is a lot like that particular coin analogy. There are little pieces of fact pertaining to that day that cannot be categorised into any evidential category. The only box in which they belong is “coincidence”. But what if, like the coin, it is followed by another odd coincidence… and another… and another… When do you stop viewing this huge number of oddities as merely coincidences and ask if they are signs of something more?

   Here, I am going to assemble some of the more interesting oddities surrounding 9/11. It is by no means a wholly inclusive list (as listing them all here would take forever and there are new ones being discovered every day!), it is simply an example of the more ‘strange’ aspects of 9/11. These aspects have been analysed endlessly by the Truth community, for their significance. Is it a huge number of mere coincidences or a collective portent of prior knowledge or foresight? You decide…

   Aside from numerous examples, including: FEMA's "Emergency Response to Terrorism" booklet (1997) and the U.S. Department of Justice/National Sheriffs’ Association's participant manual “Managing Weapons of Mass Destruction Incidents:  An Executive Level Program for Sheriffs” (funded by the Department Of Homeland Security and produced in June 2000), which both show the WTC targeted by a gun scope’s cross-hairs, it is possible that those in positions of power may have had other, more unconventional, premonitions.

   On the morning of September 11, 1941, a groundbreaking ceremony took place to officially begin construction of The Pentagon. The attack on The Pentagon took place 60 years to the day (almost to the hour) of the groundbreaking ceremony! On September 5 (six days before 9/11), Donald Rumsfeld asked the Senate to approve the D.O.D. 's 2002 budget request. It was to be the largest defence spending increase since the latter days of the Cold War.  There he talked about the importance of U.S. homeland defence, warned about the threats of terrorism and missile attacks, and later reported that he was confident that his budget request would pass. Rumsfeld also had a list of  “Rules” that he had distilled from 50 years of service. On January 30, 2001 (5 days after taking his office), he posted these rules on the D.O.D. official website. The rules were removed in October 2002. These rules were only ever modified once… on September 10, 2001. Twenty four hours before 9/11, Rumsfeld added one single new rule: “America ain’t what’s wrong with the world”. Let us also not forget, that on this exact same day, Rumsfeld announced that the Pentagon had lost track of $2.3 TRILLION DOLLARS of military spending.

   Four days before 9/11, George Bush’s brother Jeb Bush signed a two year executive order (01-261) placing Florida under a state of emergency. With the Bush family under the spotlight, it is also interesting to point out that Marvin Bush joined Securacom's board of directors, a security firm who has previously done security studies for WTC, Dulles and United. The company eventually became Stratesec and provided security at the World Trade Centre from 1995 to 2001 (right up to the towers collapsed).

   The day before 9/11, Bush senior (Ex CIA director, former President, and President Bush's Dad) was in Washington D.C. at a Carlyle Group business conference (The Carlyle Group is inextricably linked to 9/11, just google the name!) and continued such meetings on the morning of 9/11. Present at all these meetings was Carlyle investor and Bush family friend: Shafig Bin Laden, brother of Osama Bin Laden.
It is also well documented that the Bin Laden Family websites, emails, links and domain names were due to expire on Sept 11 2001.

   On the subject of websites and technology, the  U.S. government deployed an anti-terrorism taskforce on September 5, 2001, to pull the plug on over 500 websites (many with Arab and Muslim connections). Some people have even placed significance on the Microsoft Wingding fonts of the period. It became something of a net phenomenon when it was discovered that words and names related to 9/11, typed out using Wing Ding and Web Ding fonts,  showed  a ‘possible code’. The rumours were later debunked, however some key 9/11 words still show oddities in the font, for example: NYC, NEW YORK and OSAMA BIN LADEN. Some have continued to highlight the significance, given the connections between Microsoft and the ‘Agenda’ corporatocracy.

   On the subject of such business connections, it is also strange that at least half a dozen of the passengers on the ‘alleged’ planes used on 9/11, were employed by Ratheon: a company with intricate links to the US Air Force and Boeing, AND responsible for numerous technological advances in aviation including GPS guidance and systems that allowed for precision approach and landing of pilot-less aircraft.

   Whilst discussing aviation, it also appears that the airline companies who owned the ‘alleged’ planes of 9/11, appeared to engage in future trading that would have been directly affected by the events of the day. From the 6th to the 10th of September 2001, a huge number of ‘put’ options were placed on United Airlines, Boeing and American Airlines stock, betting that the price would fall sharply. The trades are called "puts" because they involve at least 450,000 shares of American. What raised the flag of suspicion, was the (more than) 80 percent of orders being "puts", far outnumbering "call" options, those betting the stock would rise. After 9/11 it was claimed that the financial arm of “terrorist organisations” had financed the ‘puts’ because they were the only ones who could have known in advance! Many people subsequently pushed for an investigation into insider trading. After several investigations and court cases, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) stated that they “found no evidence that anyone who had advance knowledge of the 9/11 attacks traded on the basis of that information”. It always seemed inevitable that this (like many other inquiries, commissions and investigations in history) would be a foregone conclusion. Thankfully, the knowledge gleaned from such matters is also a foregone conclusion: it is damning merely in it’s existence.

   In July, two months before 9/11, a 40 year old FAA rule allowing commercial airline pilots to be armed was rescinded.  Also note that the hijacking weapon of choice: box cutters, weren't allowed pre-9/11 by the airlines industry. Strange also that the ONLY person to have witnessed the use of box-cutters (upon which the ENTIRE ‘official’ account bases this particular evidence), was right wing commentator and author Barbara Olson. Not only did she have a super-duper cell phone that allowed perfect contact (twice) from the plane to the ground (allowing for an account of events), but she was also the wife of U.S. Solicitor General Ted Olson . A man who admitted in public that the U.S. government lies and a man who helped stopped the Florida recount that helped Bush win the 2000 election. So a reliable testimony there then…

   On the subject of the ‘hijackers’, we have the crucial evidence that ‘proved’ the culpability of those involved. Atta's luggage, which contained incriminating evidence, was the only luggage of the 81 passengers aboard Flight 11 that didn't make it on the plane. Convenient…   Despite the buildings collapse through structural damage caused by the intense heat and explosion of the jet and it’s fuel, etc, etc, etc, the passport of alleged Flight 11 hijacker, Satam Al-Suqami, is reportedly found in the rubble still soaked in jet fuel by an unidentified man in his 30's only "minutes" after the plane allegedly crashed into the North WTC Tower. The passport is in remarkably good condition given the circumstance. Let’s also not forget there are indications that some of the ‘hijackers’ were still alive after 9/11. How did they manage that, if they were involved?!!

In part 2,  I will look at what some have cited as bizarre or uncanny “predictions” of 9/11.
To Be Concluded…

9/11 - Part 7: Let's Roll...

   Just after 10 am on 9/11, United Flight 93 (travelling 580 mph) was reported as flipping over and crashing straight down in a empty field in the rural town of Shanksville, PA, burrowing itself underground. The passengers reportedly tried to take over the plane from the alleged hijackers. “The fuselage burrowed straight into the earth so forcefully that one of the "black boxes" was recovered at a depth of 25 feet under the ground." (Washington Post - 05/12/02). "But although the government was authorized to shoot down the errant planes, Deputy Defence Secretary Paul Wolfowitz told the NewsHour he believes that crash came instead as a result of a passenger uprising… we were already tracking in on that plane that crashed in Pennsylvania. I think it was the heroism of the passengers on board that brought it down, but the Air Force was in a position to do so if we had had to." (PBS - 9/16/01)

   This remark: “The Air Force was in a position to do so”, is the central notion of the real investigation into the ‘crash’ of United Flight 93. In the minutes leading to this event, UK ITV news showed live footage of an F-16 fighter jet in the area; thus proving that the military did indeed have the means to shoot down a passenger jet. Kevin Dunn (ITV foreign correspondent) was interviewed by news reader Kirsty Young. She asked, “Would it be possible for an American Military plane such as this, to have any impact on the destination or, indeed, the course of a plane?” and he replied, “Well the warplane could obviously challenge by radio, whoever is in control of an aircraft and ultimately threaten and indeed shoot them down.”

   The lack of bodies and debris has been pointed to, in the truth community, as the absence of Flight 93. I actually believe that was a plane smashed across the landscape of Shanksville and the surrounding area. Whether it was Flight 93 or not is a pertinent question. How it was ’downed’ is probably the more important question to ask though. Many have pointed to sink holes and mine shafts as the resting place for much of the larger debris (the area of land had been previously strip-mined for coal) and a nearby lake for much of the rest. Whilst I can’t argue with this, I also know there is a huge number of accounts of a military craft pursuing and even shooting down the ‘high jacked’ plane. If this scenario were true, it would almost certainly account for the debris pattern and lack thereof.

   Much of what follows here has been debated and questioned for validity. Whilst it is difficult to positively confirm the 100 percent accuracy of the following claims, they do raise questions. I would like to present them, merely, as a possibility…

   At 9:58, a Flight 93 passenger allegedly made a cell phone call and said that he saw an explosion and smoke and that the plane was "going down."

   The Tactical Air Communications Unit at the National Security Operations Centre (NSOC) at NSA was broadcasting live the cockpit communications between two U.S. Air Force F-16s over Somerset County, Pennsylvania. One F-16 pilot said "we are now engaging the target."
the NSA CRITICOM messaging system contained a flash message called a "CRITIC" that stated a commercial aircraft was "intercepted" over Pennsylvania. The latitude and longitude of the interception was provided along with the time of the interception. There were many ‘live’ training exercises on 9/11. Could it be that one of these exercises was mistaken for this occurrence?

   It is alleged that an encrypted special communications network that linked Air Force Chief of Staff General John Jumper to the Vice President and National Security Council, and a few other intelligence officials contained a message on the morning of September 11 that confirmed the U.S. Air Force shot down United flight 93. The message stated that a U.S. Air Force fighter jet shot the engine on flight 93 with a heat-seeking missile "over Pennsylvania". 

   A 911 emergency call to the Somerset Hospital Critical Care unit stated that the hospital should prepare for mass casualties since "two planes collided over Pennsylvania."

   Several first response workers at the ‘official’ Stony Creek crash site described a crater that closely matched a Global Hawk unmanned drone, a story corroborated by an eyewitness at a nearby junk yard who witnessed a similar vehicle “colliding” with ‘Flight 93’. Another witness observed a small white aircraft pass over Ginger Hill Road and clear some trees before exploding in a small mushroom cloud on the other side of the tree line. The fallout from the explosion was described by the witness as "glittery".

   At the Huckleberry Highway residential debris field, witnesses described the debris as little more than paper. More oddly being insurance papers, bank statements, and stock and bond certificates. The New Baltimore debris field (10 miles away) also reportedly consisted of singed bonds and insurance and bank papers.

   One of the few impact witnesses described it as "not a plane" with no engine, pure white, tubular, with no markings or windows, soundless, and with the appearance of a moulded piece of plastic. The aircraft banked to the right before ascending over a tree line before crashing. Under the aircraft and mid-belly could be seen what the witness described as a "fin and spoiler". After the crash, the witness noticed two fighter jets in the area that circled and departed rapidly from the scene.

   A phone call to a witness from a relative in Lancaster, Pennsylvania said that a friend in the Air Force said that the service had "shot down a plane in Pennsylvania."

   Several farmers who were working in their fields that morning saw U.S. Air Force fighter planes shoot down United 93 and were (allegedly) subsequently threatened by FBI agents. One witness had a security gag order placed on him by the FBI. Eventually, a number of farmer witnesses changed their stories to coincide with the official story.

   There are allegations that several local witnesses were harassed and intimidated in a threatening manner, by non-local law enforcement and FBI agents. One was claimed to have said to the eyewitness, “Do not lose faith in your government. We are handling it".

John, Tessa and Brian (three students who were at Shanksville High School at the time), witnessed a “big fighter plane” fly over the school “like 10 seconds” after the ‘crash’. Brian and John both believe that the jet shot down ‘Flight 93’.

Shanksville, PA, is a military flight corridor.

Mayor Ernie Stull, on arriving at the crash site, said he saw no evidence of a plane crash.

The "Flight 93" crash site remained fenced in and restricted, to the public.

 In August 2003, Fox news reported that US investigators now believe that the ‘high-jackers’ crashed the plane BECAUSE of the passengers starting to revolt.

Norman Mineta (see: Pentagon) said he wasn't aware of Flight 93 until after it crashed and thought “it was shot down“.

On Dec 24, 2004, Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld gives a speech about 9/11 using the phrase: “shot down the plane over Pennsylvania” .

 

On September 11, 2001, President George W. Bush was overheard stating: "We shot a plane down over Pennsylvania".


So there we have it.

Never let yourself be TOLD what happened…9/11 is for YOU to decide.

I will be doing one more evidence based overview post (covering some as yet undiscussed aspects) to begin September and will then begin my 9/11 Legacy Blog Series.

Till Next Time!

9/11 - Part 6: "The Smoking Penta-gun"

   The events at The Pentagon provide us with damning evidence of a story that contradicts the ‘official’ account. It is perhaps obvious, for reasons that will become apparent, why the debunkers tend to shy away more from this aspect of 9/11 or why they only give it a cursory acknowledgement.

   Many have pointed out the lack of video surveillance camera footage, as an indication of the US military and intelligence agencies protecting national security. A full disclosure could hamper the capacity of those that work at The Pentagon or endanger it’s assets. I actually believe that if you look at the evidence, as well as the lack of footage, there is a different picture to be painted.

   On March 7, 2002, the first footage of The Pentagon event was released to the media. A set of five frames taken from a security camera include: one showing a white blurry shape and the last few showing an erupting fireball. Much more of this footage from two angles (a few feet apart) has been released over time. Apart from a brilliant white flash, which is only visible from one camera, the footage shows absolutely nothing more (relating to the event) than the original five frames. There has been little more footage from others sources. On September 15, 2006, The U.S. government released a CITGO gas station security video that barely shows the Pentagon explosion and does not show a plane. On December 2, 2006, The FBI released a Doubletree Hotel security video that showed an explosion coming up from the Pentagon. Again, it did not show any plane, or even the Pentagon which was blocked out by an overpass. It therefore falls to the structural damage analysis and eye witness testimony to tell the reality of this story. 

   Before the event, Pentagon medic Matt Rosenberg was on the phone with the FBI talking about who had command of the MASCAL emergency plane crash plan if a plane were to hit the Pentagon and emergency equipment for the MASCAL emergency plan was already out it’s storage areas for an inventory check.  A large number of fire and medical service units were dispatched to a high-rise building fire near the Pentagon, but the fire was already reported out by the time the first responder arrived which made most of the units available to help at the Pentagon.  Other key rescue workers were available within minutes. While much of this could be labelled coincidence, it is odd that many of these workers had been involved in MASCAL training exercises and commented how “eerily alike” they were to the real life events of 9/11.

   The damage at The Pentagon contradicts the ‘official’ account in numerous ways. Will Jarvis (operations research analyst, Office of Secretary of Defence) said: “There was just nothing left. It was incinerated. We couldn’t see a tail or a wing or anything”. Maybon Pollock (Sergeant First Class, NCOIC Logistics in the DiLorenzo TRICARE Health Clinic) said: “I was more impressed, I was truly impressed, with how the building stood up, after they told me the size of the plane. And then I was in awe that I saw no plane, nothing left from the plane. It was like it disintegrated as it went into the building.”. Eileen Murphy (Head Nurse of the Minor Surgery Clinic at the DiLorenzo TRICARE Health Clinic) said: "The building is like rock solid. I expected to see the airplane, so I guess my initial impression was, “Where’s the plane? How come there’s not a plane?” I would have thought the building would have stopped it and somehow we would have seen something like part of, or half of the plane, or the lower part, or the back of the plane. So it was just a real surprise that the plane wasn’t there”.

   Even CNN correspondent Jamie McIntyre reported live from the Pentagon, that there was no evidence of a plane having crashed anywhere near the building. "From my close-up inspection, there's no evidence of a plane having crashed anywhere near the Pentagon. The only site, is the actual side of the building that's crashed in. And as I said, the only pieces left that you can see are small enough that you pick up in your hand. There are no large tail sections, wing sections, fuselage, nothing like that anywhere around which would indicate that the entire plane crashed into the side of the Pentagon and then caused the side to collapse“. He was obviously remanded as a result because, later in the day he was changing his story (even though subsequent evidence continued to support his initial view). In the days that followed, he tried to deny he’d ever said it. When footage showed his gaff, he tried to explain it away as ‘heat of the moment’.

   Amongst the debris that was recovered, was a fuselage section that was a fuselage section that was rectangular in shape (Flight 77 was a Boeing 757 and they’re fuselage at the time was round), a small cockpit window piece (inconsistent with 77), a J52 turbine wheel (engine part) found inside the Pentagon was never installed in a 757 and an engine rotor photographed on the lawn was approximately 3 foot wide (757’s twin engines are 9 feet diameter/12 feet length, Pratt & Whitney PW2000 or Rolls Royce RB211 engines with a 7 foot diameter turbofan). This rotor does not match the 757 engine specifications and it is revealing that when John W Brown (spokesman for Rolls Royce Indianapolis) was shown this part, he said: “It’s not a part from any Rolls Royce engine that I’m familiar with”.

   The fire damage sustained by The Pentagon appears to be rather less than claimed. Witnesses commented on the lack of fire and smoke damage severity. The photographs taken after the collapse show some real oddities. Aside from two clocks that appear to have frozen at the exact moment of impact, there is also the strange matter of a book perched on a stool (right on the edge of the collapse section) which appears totally untouched by smoke or fire damage. It wasn’t even budged by vibration from the collapse or the spray of water from fire hoses putting out the remaining flames.

   Photographs before the building collapse show that column 14AA remained intact… bizarre considering that the American Society for Civil Engineers Report concluded that the impact took out 50 support columns including 14AA. They also show a pre-collapse hole of 14 - 16 feet. The foundations suffered no damage from the left engine pod which, according to the official flight path angle, would have gauged into the ground. Subsequent ‘official’ reports and investigation solved this problem in animated simulations by pretending that the plane had no engines at all!

   Pre & Post-collapse shows no damage from the tail impacting the front edge of the roof (at the position it allegedly struck) and windows were still intact where vertical stabiliser would have ploughed through. If, as some have claimed, The Pentagon was suitably reinforced to withstand this… where is the tail/vertical stabiliser in the outer debris? Was it pulverised by jet fuel, yet again?!! This would be a very selective fire, if you consider that The Pentagon’s super-reinforced lawn suffered no scorching after the debris was cleared…

   Most bizarre are the images from the inner courtyard, which reveal a puncture hole created by the nose of the plane. 757 nose cones are made of fibreglass (see also: The Twin Towers) as it contains the radar guidance system. Signals from which would simply bounce straight back if the nose was made of metal. What a super vehicle: Flight 77! Consider this: the plane hits the section that recently had reinforcement work completed. It impacts…and proceeds to plough through several ring walls: each 3 foot steel reinforced concrete (a total of 9 feet). After which the fibreglass nose peeks out the other side, disappears from existence and leaves a man and a half sized hole in it’s wake…

   There is speculation that the real means used, was possibly an A3 Sky Warrior (consistent with the engine parts recovered) or a bunker buster type, piece of ordinance. This could have been in missile form or launched to precede the impacting craft. This possibly ties in with theories about ‘Smack Sonic Insulation’ which allegedly reduces the aircraft and contents to the consistency of super heated plasma, therefore explaining the bizarre pattern of structural damage.
Whilst it is difficult to say what it WAS that struck The Pentagon, it would probably be safe to say that it wasn't Flight 77.

To Be Continued…
